Part Two: More Photos Plastic Warrior Show 2026, as promised, we have more photos from the show. First up are photos from Peter Evans, and then photos from Markus Lecksheid. I will be doing photos from the open-air show in Herne in another post.
Part Two: More Photos, Peter Evans
Here we have Steve Viccars next to his stand. He had a nice selection of Britains and Timpo.
For a collector needing any Britains Deetail, there was plenty to pick from. I would be looking for non-Britains.
I can see Lone Star Divers and Crescent Robin Hood on this table.
This is one show you have to go around several times, and even then, you will still have to go around again.
Another look at the Lone Star, you can see the show was busy. The room is not big, but it is loaded with figures.
So many boxes to go through in hopes of finding a treasure.
Dealers had other items for sale, not just figures. If you are into Action Man, it was there. I would have picked up the Energizer Bunny if he were not too expensive.
Matt Murphy of Hobby Bunker was over again from the state. He had a nice selection of figures from the U.S.

Here is another view of the table with the Energizing Bunny. As I have said before, you have to look under the tables.
This dealer had a wide range of Timpo figures for sale.
More Timpo and some Comansi military for purchase.
A nice selection of figures, including Britains Rev War.
Amongst the figures, there are blister cards that you used to find in stores.
This table had a wide range of toys.
Another look at Matt Murphy’s table.
Some dealers will set up boards with bags to look through.
Various tanks for sale.
More boxes to look through.
You look over and over, hoping to find a treasure.
More figures to look through. I would like to thank Markus and Peter for sharing their photos.
Great job, my friend. Thank you so much for sharing this with those of us who can’t attend an event like that. It must be a fantastic and joyful experience to meet other collectors in person and find treasures. When you or Detlef share these galleries, it’s like a breath of fresh air and a real boost. Thank you very much.
Yes, Paul, I agree with Ramses! Your site is still the favourite for many collectors like me that cannot attend shows- – especially European shows. Your photos and commentary are always fun, educational, and interesting. It’s great that you have resources like Markus ,Peter,and Erwin to be on the lookout for you. I always enjoy Erwin’s posts. So much knowledge about European production! I grew up in the 1960’s in a tiny Texas town, and I barely knew any brands other than Marx and Timmee.
About 30 years ago, I visited an “antique/collectibles/”junk-tique”store in historic Gainesville, Texas. When the owner approached me to offer help, I told her I was looking for “toy soldiers- – metal, plastic, military or cowboys & Indian fiigures..”
She grimaced and very haughtily pontificated, ” I’ve been in this business for over thirty years, and I’ve never seen anything like that.” I guess I was “dismissed” by her attitude…!
So I went next door, and the store had piles of beautiful Timmee plastic Cowboys & Indians all in pristine condition for cheap. I still have them on display in my toy room.
Stad’s Stuff is still the best! Shout out to Waynolin…Skip…Mike P…
As usual, these are great photos, report, a great show, and fun for everyone. I am glad that many still enjoy the excitement. Thank you for sharing.
Dittos, Gary – on ALL counts.
